Casino Tours
Are there any tours that hit all the casinos in one night - something like the bus bar thing? If not, which casino do you think is the best one to hit if you could only go to one?

There are no Casino tour buses. If your talking slots, one I perfer is Crystal Casino at Renaissance Resort. The Marriott is very nice but they have been taking my $$$ lately. If you are into poker, the Holiday Inn and Radisson are the places to go.

most casinos have nothing more than a few slots and half a dozen tables. for the most part, all of them have the same slots also. crystal casino and marriott stellaris are the only ones open 24 hours - however, if you're into table games then you'll have to go to the crystal casino for 24/7 action. stellaris only has tables until 3-4am.

i disagree
all of the casinos have a decent amount of slots except for key largo
if you are comparing the amount of slot machines to vegas or foxwoods or atlantic city then yes there are only a few.

i would wager that the resort casinos with the exception of key largo............all have over 150 machines

Andrea. You're right in that most casinos have a fair share of slots. But imo most had a very limited selection and space to warrant a tour like the bar tour. Really some casinos are not worth the tim
And effort if ur not staying at the hotel.

alhambra.....is that where they have the slot contest almost every night? i think of all the casinos on the island, the riu is the most disappointing one considering how big the resort is.
